Hundreds of years ago, humanity discovered 'mana', and those who could use it, 「The Awakened」. The awakened were those who were somehow randomly able to call upon Mana to do their bidding, whether it be attack, defend, or simply fool around. Quickly, the「Awakened」became insurmountably popular and known all across the world. They were classified into ranks. E, F, D, C, B, A, S, and National. E-rank「Awakened」still far surpassed the physical capabilities of all humans by a long shot, making the「Awakened」the strongest sub-category, and subsequently 'type' of people to exist, ever. However, it wasn't for nothing. 「Gates」, portals to other worlds that would be harbingers of worldly destruction if left alone also appeared at the same time as the 「Awakened」. The monsters within 「Gates」are ranked from E to S, each 「Gate」of a certain rank requiring multiple「Awakened」of the same rank to defeat, making each S-rank 「Gate」as dangerous as a single National-rank 「Awakened」, of which there were only 1 in each nation.

Every「Awakened」who reported gaining the ability to use mana, also has a special 'affinity' to a skill These abilities are called 'Talents', since it's believed one does not willingly choose them. They ranked in titles: Common, Rare, Unique, Lord, King, and Sovereign are the titles designated to all Talents, from weakest to strongest. Everyone who has awakened has reported seeing an object resembling a 'sheet ripped from a notebook' fall from the sky. The following question was documented to always be printed on the top: "What do you truly wish for?" Anyone who wrote anything untruthful or pretentious, had their wish 'negated', or so is believed, as not everyone that witnesses that note 'awakens'.

In the current era, a student walks to school, when he notices a white material falling from the sky. Once it lands on the ground, there is a question clearly inscribed upon it: "What do you truly desire?" The student writes upon the sheet, "I want to fulfill my destiny", as the sky begins to rapture, and turn crimson red.
